When I was redesigning my homepage I found a CSS hack. Because I couldn't find anything about this hack, it seemed to me that this hack isn't known yet. So I named it after my homepage: The Curunir Hack.

Jasper, at first glance I thought this was very clever, but then I realized that it only works when you're specifying {width: 100%;}. Your hack {width: 100% -;} makes the width rule unparseable, so the browser renders the div as though no width had been declared -- i.e., as wide as it can make it, filling its container, automatically subtracting the margin, padding, border width, etc.

Rather than insert a hyphen to break the width rule, why not simply eliminate the width rule entirely, and enclose your div in a container of the desired width?

Regards,
Paul
